SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery of the Cause of most Tn,
timely Deaths that Come upon
the Community.

The official returns of the city of New York show
that nearly three-fourIhs OF al deaths are from
consumption. When We stop TO calmly think over
this fact it is really awful And yet every case
without exception started from small beginnings
cough in the morning ticking in the throat: /:
thick phlegmy discharge; chilliness at night:
difficult breathing; tiehtness across the chest
these and many more symptoms indicate the pres
enee OF that terrible disease which unless checked
means certain death with long and painful suffer
ing.
ln view OF snch serious aud ever present facts
the suggestions and advice of the most eminent
phvsleans are Of the greatest value
Dr. John Gardner, one Of the most emint Mt phy-
slclans In London. says: Science common sense
holy scriptures. and all exper ence testify 10 the
dement's derived from the use OF pure whisky :,
Dr D. h Barker SAYS: 81 have used and exam
med Duffy Pure Malt Whisky, and find it tue bt st
l ever tried.
Dr. 5. NJ. Bqckwalter SAYS: s.Dufy's Pure Malt
WHISKY is,without denbt, the invaid's diink when
stimulaBts are indicated, and find all chronic
cases require stimulants and large per cent OF
the acute ones also.'
These truths from the lips of the leading scien-
tihc men of the day, and confirmed by the expert
ence of m-n and women well known in tn com
munity should serve as guide for all who feel
the approach OF consumption, no matter by what
path it may come. We do not hesitate TO assert
that anv man or woman who will use Duffy's Pure
Malt hlsky according TO directions can defy con-
sumption and prolong life with all its blessings.

VNTTA, L T., Oct Al A. Quinn, sta
tion agent for the Missouri Pacific company
at Chouteau, tbirty-fve miles south of here,
was shot as result Of refusing a drink Of
whisky. J. 8. Roakes, a cowboy, came into
the depot drunk, and insisted upon the agent
taking . drink. The offer vas refused,
Quinn remarking, 4I'll see you again" A
little later he met the man across the street
and, pulling his coat, accosted him, when the
other drew his pistol and quickly fired, the
ball passing through Quinn's shoulder, inflict-
ing severe though not fatal wound Roakes
gave up his pistol, and waited until an officer
went from this place and took him into
custody. 1t is seldom any one refuses drink
in this country, and the practice will doubt
less now become obsolete

Ajbey's double Uncle Toms Cabin"
company drew = good sized audience at
Harper's theatre Saturday night, despite
the inclement weather; and all who at
tended were more than pleased for bray
ing the elements md coming out. While
the main features Of the old dramatiza-
ton are retained, the management has
added many rev and unique features that
do not fail to please general audiences.
Eva ST. Clair is perSonated by Genie
Fursman, who is but six years of age.
She is great favOritc ard wonderful
child actress. The two Marks made
vast deal of fun. There are two topsys
in the company, persenated by the dis
tinguished Hger Sisters, who have
been heard here before They are
artists of the highest rank and made
most decided "hit" by their exquisite
singing and merry antics. The quartette's
singing and plantation scenes gave great
pleasure 10 lovers of negro melodies.
George T. Dorsey as Uncle Tom" was
the best we ever saw, and Aunt Ophelia
was very good indeed Taken in all, the
Double Uncle Tom" entertainment gave

Honest, faithful work, served 10 make
for Beatrice Lieb many warm friends of
the people at Music Hall last night. Miss
Lleo Is an experienced actress. As Ollie
S0merVille last night she displayed good
Taste, emotional power, and a freedom
from staginess that is as rare as it is com.
mendahle. Certainly there were no,
many fearless eyes in last nights audi
ence during the third and fourth acts. and
ang better test Of play or PLAYER than
tears has yet TO be produced. She well
earned a hearty recall after the second
and third acts.
